Overcoming Complexity in the Physical Verification Signoff Process

On-demand Web Seminar

As we progress to ever smaller nodes, the number of rule checks keeps growing along with the complexity of the rules. Custom and AMS designers are experiencing more and more iterations, slowing down the convergence to final signoff.

Overview

As we progress to ever smaller nodes, the number of rule checks keeps growing along with the complexity of the rules. Custom and AMS designers are experiencing more and more iterations, slowing down the convergence to final signoff.

Design rules are now so complex that fixing one problem creates another, but designers don’t know that until they run a full DRC verification. After iteration, designers find out they can’t make fixes because they don’t have the area to do so; they’ve boxed themselves in with a particular configuration.

Calibre RealTime is a new product which runs sign-off Calibre DRC checking in the design environment as the designers edit their design.
